The moment the second line appears on the white stick, the worry wart gene kicks in. Women planning on becoming pregnant often think they'll have nine months to sit and relax before fretting over motherly matters. But the day that test confirms a pregnancy, mama can kiss her worry-free days goodbye because from here to eternity, she's always going to fuss over that baby growing inside her precious belly. It's just what mothers do.

I didn't worry about most of that either. Possibly labor, but not much. I don't consider wanting and focusing on a healthy baby to be "therefore, a worry" either.
I maintained a good communication with my doctors, which I believe is crucial. And a lot of things like colic, PPD, and making enough milk, I never understood worrying about until you're actually experiencing it.

I guess I'm out of the norm, but I grew up with my mom a nurse and my sister is too in labor and delivery. So I know what can happen to seemingly normal pregnancies. My biggest concern right now with this pregnancy is weight gain, even though I'm gaining the way I should and wasn't overweight to begin with and then bad things happening in labor.
